Three random facts:

[solarpluvia]

1 - I have the best excuse for horrid newspaper telemarketers: I'm allergic to newspapers. (Really. Something in the ink gives me a rash.)

2 - Upon watching Highlander 2 after several years, I've realized just how atrocious it was.

3 - I'm on my own this week, and it feels nice to have the house to myself. I went food shopping and bought such things that I won't have to cook all week. Yay!

[mejaka]

1. When I lived in SE Idaho there were hot baths (not hot tubs, but real mineral baths, some contained and some in their natural state) everywhere...Here in N. Idaho where it's colder and I'm more stressed, the closest one is Lolo in Montana--two hours away.

2. I'm helping pack up a friend today so she can move.

3. My ten-year-old wrote an essay on ununbinium yesterday that made me proud. Circular essay, beginning with the idea that the element is very mysterious, moving through several examples, and then coming back to the idea of its mysteriousness with the assertion that it has no uses...except to be studied in hopes its mysteries can be revealed.

[solarpluvia]

Mejaka - sounds like a fun essay! Your kidlet must be pretty bright. I've never heard of that element.

1 - It's a good thing I decided to log in before I left or I would have forgotten to return the DVDs I rented.

2 - My bedroom looks like a tornado hit, but it was just me.

3 - In high school my friends thought I should make a good drill instuctor because I have such a loud commanding voice. The Marines tried to recruit me, but not because of that.

In high school my friends thought I would make a good actress because my face is very expressive. Unfortunately all this really means is that I have a lousy poker face. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Hey mejaka, we have natural hot springs here where people go to bathe. C'mon on down!

1. Today I was a bonified couch potato. Evil T.V. I think I'll go for a walk or something.

2. I think that as an adult, there are only so many stuffed animals I should own. I often get them as gifts and am not quite sure what to do with them.

3. I waited for the fed ex guy to deliver some art supplies I ordered all day today but he never came. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

[thunderstorm_19]

1... i've got 6 weeks of class then 2 during which exams occur, then i'm done 2nd year...

2... i'm hoping my marks are okay enough to allow me back next year... they should be...

3... i wrenched my back, when my upper body decided to spin what felt like 360, and my lower stayed put, when i found a patch of ice on the bit of road i walked along tonite. couldn't use the sidewalk, it's buried under 1 1/2 ft of snow.

[nuKKe]

Today's random topic is the weather!

1. It's snowing!!!!! Deep soft snow decorates our balcony and the neighbourhood's roofs!

2. It snows here about once a year and then the city stops. Pros: no school for me, no work for my man. Cons: no post-office that has a package for me.

3. Rt. 1, the only road that leads to the Capital, is blocked about 25 KM west. That means no snow tourism today!!! Yay for anti-socialism!!!

[GuineaBaby]

1. I woke up almost an hour ago and can't get back to sleep because I thought I saw something block the light really fast and I'm paranoid.

2. My throat itches like crazy.

3. Dawn took Maleficent for the night cause she drinks really loudly and usually starts when I'm trying to sleep, so last? night I was so frustrated I threw the water bottles into the hallway. Dad discovered them and Dawn came and hauled Mallie off. I fell asleep rather quickly after that. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

I read in the Toronto paper about the snow storm in Isreal and thought of you. It said it was the most snow since 1950. Wow! Are you having fun with your day off?

1. It is not a day off for me. I have class and meetings up the wazoo.

2. On the up side a student run, organic, negan friendly cafe is opening up on campus today. Hooray!

3. Complete randomness: My partner and I are polyamorus (can see other people).

[beja]

1. it is 2:02 pm and i just had fruit loops and soymilk, a piece of rye toast with margarine (i wish i had some marmite..), and a glass of water for breakfast.

2. my friend came over last night to make flyers for the d.i.y. group we're starting. unfortunately, we ended up embroidering, making mail art, and listening to music instead..still fun, but not the point of our get-together!

3. i wear way too much black. my pants are black, my tshirt is black, my sweater is black, and one of my socks is black. (i couldn't find one that matched it..hehe). oh, and, my hair is also black. oh my..http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

[Punky]

1. I just woke up and I could sleep another 5 hours

2. I am hoping to get some stuff I ordered via ups today

1 - My first year of high school I hung out in the library with the chess guys. Can't play, but they were my friends.

2 - However, I did learn how to play a mean game of poker with those guys.

3 - I cleaned my room at 3 this morning. I just started to do it... it was weird. But I can see most of my carpet now.

[Seusomon]

What an amazing thread!

1. I have a PhD in astronomy. (I worked on the Voyager mission)

2. I'm a witch.

3. I once grew over 1,300 different varieties of iris in back yard.

[Dalmaney]

1. The boy that I think has a crush on me is three years younger than me. I don't know if he realizes how much older I am, although I try to work it into conversation now and then. I realize 3 years isn't that much, but when I could easily be a fourth-year and he's a fresh-from-high-school first-year, it still seems wrong. I seem to recall yelling "Cradlerobber!" at my friend who did it last summer.

2. Today I arranged for a cream-pie-to-the-face to be sent to my friend Shannon tomorrow afternoon. My college runs a fundraiser for Engineers Without Borders and a summer camp: $10 to pie someone, $10 for them to redirect the pie, and $20 to buy the pie and pie no one. It's a great idea, I think. I'm a little scared that he'll send it back, though, and I don't have ten bucks to save myself!

3. I should get up early tomorrow and go to a free pancake breakfast and work all morning before my afternoon classes. The key word there is should.

[jenngbob]

Dalmaney, get 'em while they're young and not embittered by some other girl with less of a heart than you! Trust me on this.
http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

1. I was voted the best actress in my Oral Interpretation of Short Stories class (Rhetoric) at UC Berkeley.It has done me absolutely no good, but it was fun to get that recognition at the time!

2. I want to homestead, and I have no idea of where to start making that dream a reality. I don't have much faith in my ability for success in the business world, but somehow I *know* I would be good at living self-sufficiently without it!

3. Ummmm, I'm looking for a good design to make a toilet paper roll cover to keep my cat from wasting entire double rolls... http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif ...anyone have a good template?

What a great idea!

1. I also want to homestead, my partner and a pair of friends are going to do it together. It will be great!

2. I'm going out to a bar tonight to hear a great band. The fact a very cute someone might be there has nothig to do with it...yeah right!

3. I have to start an essy before I go, which means I should get off the computer.

[venus28976]

Hey this is a cool idea. I'm new to this but thought I'd join in the fun.

1. One of my legs is longer than the other.
2. My art supplies took over my room and I can't seem to find my bed
3. I'm making the scrapbook to end all scrapbooks- an autobiographical scrapbook.

[jade]

2. I've been drinking and no, I'm not drunk. Just really, really sleepy.

3. I have to be up by 8 am tomorrow for a doctor's appointment.

*yawn*

[Willow_starr]

1. I'm going on a double date tonight, that makes me really happy.

2. Mr. Rodgers died today, that makes me really sad.

3. I have to do laundry now, which makes neither happy nor sad.

That makes me really sad too. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

1. I don't want to go to school today. It's only a one hour class, but I'm going to have to stay because Aunt Phyllis wants to do something with Mom.

2. I slept for 11 hours last night. Ooops! Now I'm tired from oversleeping and i have a darned headache!

3. I dreamed that I was holding Thistle (my little dog) and I was walking down the street in Redding (where my grandparents live) and she was telling me directions to get to a wizard of oz thing.

[Bugitha]

1. My apt is very humid today because I steam cleaned the carpets and then turned up the heat to help them dry out. Blech.

2. My best friend since Jr. High is coming on Saturday to visit for a week. Yay. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

3. I like snow cones. Especially grape.

[Dalmaney]

Come to Saskatchewan and homestead! The weather sucks, but the land is plentiful. Plus, if you can homestead here, you've proven you can make it anywhere. If you can survive in Saskatchewan, Siberia is no big deal.

1. Both of my sets of grandparents were homesteaders.
2. Both of my parents went to one room schools and grew up without running water or electricity.
3. My mom grows 400 hills of potatoes in the garden.

[jenngbob]

Dalmaney, you SO just brightened my day!! Thank you! http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

1. I love Canada! Okay, so I've only been to BC (where my parents hail from, and all my extended family lives), but I love it so much that I know I'd love it all.

2. I love potatoes. Yay your mom!

3. I'm gonna look into it! Everyone who grew up with snow tells me how it's hard to live with, but I can't imagine it's as bad as being around all these rich people who don't give a damn who they squish to get richer.

[whalesong]

1. Since the beginning of this year I've gotten really into soundtrack music, especially that of the Lord of the Rings movies (does anyone want to send me a copy of the soundtrack to "The Two Towers" in exchange for something - maybe another CD?).

2. This thread has been viewed over FIFTEEN THOUSAND TIMES!!!!

3. I'm going to DC! I'm going to DC! I'm going to DC! Ha ha ha ha ha! Soooo exciting....

~whalesong~

[Mou]

1. I love my dog to death. She is a JRT (does this count as 2 facts? Probably http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
2. I have a crush on someone good-looking for the first time in my life. (The good looking bit, not the bit about having a crush, btw, anyone know how i can get over it? It's really irritating, & I have stuff i need to do!)
3. I spoke Portuguese when i was 3 years old & then promptly forgot it when i left the country

[GuineaBaby]

1. I'm am highly ticked off about "Good Morning Miami". It hasn't been on three weeks and they make Penny break it off with Jake because he'll "never get Dyllan out of his heart". She is such a slut! I'm so mad!

2. I have no life so I have nothing else to get mad over.

3. Mom promised to give me stamps two days ago and I still haven't gotten them.

[solarpluvia]

1 - I just finished watching Signs again on DVD, and it was very nearly as good as it was when I saw it in the theatre. Better in that way than the Sixth Sense.

2 - One of my cats likes to sleep in my computer chair, but when I am using the computer he goes into the bottom of my messy walk-in closet. Silly Pumpkin!

3 - Pat Robertson is talking to Connie Chung on CNN right now, and I can't help but feel a little jolt of schadenfreude (sp?) about him having prostate cancer. This is bad for my karma.

Bonus 4: That big German word in the previous fact has no direct English equivalent, but roughly means "taking pleasure in the misfortune of others." I love words from other languages that consolidate a phrase in English or express a sentiment that we don't have a definition for.

[Katiekat]

1. The last page of Charlotte's Web always makes me teary. I love that book.

2. I have a huge hatred of wire hangers. I hate how they get all tangled together and catch on each other when you try to take one off a closet rod. I hate how they always make me mad, and then I yank on them really hard, and they come bouncing off the rod and straight into my face. I HATE WIRE HANGERS!!

3. #2 explains why my favorite part of doing laundry is towels and underwear. No hangers involved.

[Bugitha]

1. So far I have given out 72 feedback points. One was neutral, 2 were (regettably) negative and 69 were positive!

2. I found out today that after working at my new job (for an airline) for six months I will be able to fly to London for $150! Yahoo. Anyone know a cheap place to stay in London?

3. I'm listening to cast recording of Rent. Man, I love that show.

I feel your pain!  Mine are A.T. and I got it all the time.

1 - Flashdance! I can't believe that my parents took me to see it in the theatre and that everyone thought it was so good.

2 - My mother also took me to see Jaws 2, Gandhi, and Beverly Hills Cop in the theatre when I was small.

3 - I have some yellow sparkle Play-Doh on my computer desk, and I have no idea why it is here, or why I have any at all.  Strange.

[Dalmaney]

1. Yesterday was Ferrispalooza on TNN, so I watched parts of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" all day in the lounge at school, then watched the whole thing last night.

2. It's Saturday, and I have to go to school and work for five or six hours to keep my head above water.

3. Tonight I'm seeing "Nunsense" at a dinner theatre that an acquaintance is acting in. It will be a good night to follow a sucky day.

[nuKKe]

1) we watched A.I today. Yet another Spielberg spiel, full of pedophiliac motives, emotional blackmail and kitsch. What I really hate about it is that even though I am well aware of all this crap I cried during the (pseudo) cathartic moments.

2) Have you ever noticed how in the movies (and in the mass media in general) brown hair is the signifier of "bad" while blond signifies "good"? It was the same in my family. My sis-in-law is a natural blond (recently dyed to black and then brown), and she was always considered as the good, nice daughter-in-law (or that's how the paranoid me felt). But now that they're moving to her hometown in the U.S the brounette - c'est moi - is the good one. Whatever.

3) I signed up to way too many lmao's recently. But they're all so good that I just had to! So far, have been keeping up fine though.

[AlienSpy]

1) When I was in elementary school, my parents and teachers thought that school was too easy for me and not challenging enough so they made me skip grade 6.

2) My great grandmother only had one child (a daugther) : my grandmother, who only had one child (a daughter) : my mother, who only had one child (a daughter) : me! And I don't have any cousins.

3) I believe in animal communication and my Golden Retriever "talked" to me a few times!

[anxietyelf]

1- I love trash art, its my life, sadly can't make a living at it thus I am going to college to try to find something to support my art habit http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

2- I'm 100% Italian but i cant speak it

3- I love to bake and cook, but I dont like eating

[Katiekat]

1. I habe a code. *sniff*

2. I think i've lost my favorite 80's mix cd, so now i have to try to burn it again. Which would be easy if i had made it on my computer in the first place, but i didn't, so now i have to start from scratch.

3. An acquantance of mine always invites me to smoke up with her when i see her... Since i don't smoke all that often, i usually end up turning down her offer. But then i feel bad, because to a true pot-head, isn't partaking the polite thing to do? Am i being rude by saying no? I feel like it relates to the whole "eat food that you're offered whether you want it or not" situation.

[littlebird]

Three not so random activism facts:
1. I **just** discovered the current events folder. no joke. i posted some fiery stuff in there and i'm all worked up now. and i'm really sad because it's not all that active now. i feel like i missed out on all the good stuff.

2. i went and saw vagina monologues last night. it was awesome. there was a speaker before the presentation who said that since the bush administration took office, hundreds of women's shelters have had to close because of very sly budget cuts instated by dubya to further fund this joke of a war. the woman said that maybe we should concentrate on fighting terror in our own homes against domestic violence a little more. Good point.

3. Suburbangoth has invited me to come to Omaha and see the Guerrilla Girls with her!! It gets better, she has a friend that set the whole damn thing up and there is a good chance that we will get to go with her to take them out to dinner! EEEK! I nearly wet myself every time i think of that. Feminist art movements are sooooo cool.

1. a friend and i took a walk last night, and ended up meeting up with someone and not coming back to the party until four hours later. when we got back, everyone was worried and i felt bad about it.

2. i am pretty behind on nervousness stuff, but i think i'll use today as a catch-up day. (although unfortunately i need a lot of things i don't have, such as a copy machine and film developing and stuff for image transfers..argh..)

3. my friends and i made a stir-fry last night with everything in the fridge. seitan, onions, celery, carrots, cranberry juice, soy sauce, fruit salad, etc. i thought it was going to be gross (fruit salad?!), but it was actually really good!

[Katiekat]

1. I fell down half a flight of stairs last week. I was coming downstairs to leave for work, and I had an armload of stuff to put in my car, and the toe of my shoe caught the carpet on the step, and I went tumbling down. I tried to catch myself, but ended up doing a sort-of sideways forward roll, landing on my side at the foot of the stairs. My mom came running, saying, "oh my god, are you alright?!?" and once I figured out that I was indeed okay, I started laughing my ass off.

2. I really like squirrels. I would like to have one as a pet.

3. I met Verne Troyer and Phil Fondacaro (http://us.imdb.com/Name?Fondacaro,%20Phil) yesterday. Verne was busy talking to my boyfriend's nephew, so I talked to Phil about his appearance on CSI. He was very nice and I got my picture taken with him.

[Seusomon]

1. I grow sprouts in my kitchen

2. My daughter makes spy gadgets out of kleenex.

3. I haven't cut my hair in 10 months.

1... i buggered up my back and neck yesterday. i cracked my back (on purpose), but also did something else to it, which hurt, then i found the patch of ice down at the bus stop, landed square on my ass, jarred my back some more, and so on.... it's better this morning, but not gone. my neck still aches.

2... i need to buy coffee today, or tomorrow at the latest, so that i don't run out.

3. we got MORE snow last night... i've had enough of this.

saying no to pot is ok. i wish i would have found that out earlier. i thought in order to be friends with some people, you have to smoke with them if they were gonna smoke. i wasted a lot of time smoking, and sadly, i'm not friends with them anymore...

but here are my 3:

1. i love being naked outside. if i could live on nude beaches, i would.

2. i've had tantric sex, accidentaly.

3. i regret a whole bunch of the things i thought i wouldn't regret when i did them.

[Dalmaney]

1. I feel I am about to fail my first exam ever. Yet I am here in the forums instead of studying.

2. Sometimes I worry about my inability to link cause and effect, and take measures to avoid undesirable effects.

3. I love to pretend I'm still in junior high, sleep over with one of my friends, and have inane conversations about boys and life until we're both so incoherent we have no choice but to sleep. I got to do it on Saturday, and it's just a good thing. Grown up schmown up.

[nuKKe]

1) Yay!!! My copy of 120 Days of Sodom arrived in the mail, as well as Gal's M.O.D and S.O.D cd's. Problem? It arrived to his parents' house in Tel Aviv's suburbia and we won't be there in the next 10 days or so. I have to read this book for a course I'm taking.

2) While snow-covered Jerusalem was an amazing sight, the slimey, black remains are rather disgusting.

3) I still have about 46 postcards to go until my Greetings From postcard collection is complete. :/

[beja]

1. i just got home from seeing the vagina monologues. it was great!

2. i am a bit behind in nervous stuff. and its not because i don't have the time..i have all the time in the world.. i'm just not motivated. i need to work on that. people have been wonderfully understanding and patient, which is so important here.and i really appreciate that.

3. i've been spending 3+ hours at the library every day, just for fun...just reading, writing, and photocopying anything and everything that interests me. this week, my main interests are: hinduism, insects, frida kahlo, and jellyfish.

[mejaka]

1. This morning I felt a little depressed.

2. In order to prove I wasn't depressed, I took Miss Anna to the beach in the bike trailer and fed the ducks (and the sun shone!), and then cleaned the common areas of the house, swept, mopped, vacuumed.

3. I felt the same but at least I was feeling it in a clean house.

Bonus: 4. I spend all day anxiously anticipating Brett's arrival from work, but by the time we get everyone in bed there's not near enough time for the togetherness and reassurance I need right now.

5. He weighed 185 this morning (he's been losing from the stress). He's losing his spare tire but his face looks gaunt.

6. The plumber whose been working on the basement remodel came today. (He lives down the street. He is too handsome to be real and today he even smelled nice. No wonder Brett prefers to be around when he comes, LOL). He was impressed with Brett's stud walls, though a little confused by the way he did them until I explained that the floor joists don't run perpendicular to the foundation walls at each end in that part of the basement.

[Katiekat]

Mejaka, I'm sorry you're feeling blue. Here's some loves for you! xoxoxo!!

1. Even though I feel like i'm growing up too fast, I now know that I still have a little bit of teenage stubbornness in me. How do I know that? Even though I can hardly keep my eyes open and all i wanna do is go to bed, i won't go to bed -- ONLY because I don't have to get up early in the morning, so this is my night to stay up late. Staying up for the principle of it. *tsk*

2. I like Badger lip balms. The Healing Balm is great for chapped lips!

3. I miss my boyfriend. We're each stuck at our houses because of icy roads. I want a cuddle! *pout*

Bonus

4. I really like the cell phone commercial where Little Richard throws a tantrum and hollers "These are not Little Richard's shoes!"

Oh, I like those, too. I bought my first one because it came in such a cute little tin (yes, I can be a sucker) and was pleased to find very good lip balm inside.

1. I have a line from a song from Les Mis stuck quite firmly in my brain. "it's time for us to decide who we are . . ."

2. My favorite music to study to used to be Gregorian chants.

3. When I was a kid and I felt bad, I could always cheer myself up by thinking of Snoopy. I wish that still worked.

[solarpluvia]

1 - I am behind on my mailings because my allergies are making me very tired. Everything here is shedding spores and pollen like crazy.

2 - When I wrote academic papers I would put in the soundtrack to the Blues Brothers movie and listen over and over. Just that.

3 - I have a fetish for tins. Tins for cookies, mints ... anything that comes in a tin.

Bonus:

4 - I also buy old Pyrex carafes. They are so pretty, all gilded, but useful. I have several now and must restrain myself whilst in thrift stores.

5 - For some reason I am shifting out of nervousness creativity and back into crochet. I'm not that good at crochet, but I can't find any nervous inspiration.

6 - http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif Just saw the funniest thing on CNN American Morning. They showed a picture of a gas station sign from San Francisco (highest gas prices in the nation) that said:

At least there is some humor in this situation. I just feel bad for my California friends.

My study playlist is a mix of Gregorian Chants and Mediael Baebe. I love the Mediaeval Baebes!

1. I have to write a 20 page essay, today.

2. I am running for Women's Issues Comiss. on my student union.

3. I am vegan but have a weak spot for butter tarts, occassionally while I'm grocery shopping I'll pick up a box, but I can't read the ingredients or I feel ill. I'm such a hypocrite sometimes.

[mejaka]

1. A sign like that appeared on a gas station here in N. Idaho about a year ago (during a little spike that faded). They left it up. Now it says:

Supreme: FIRSTBORN

2. I love tins, too, and tend to buy things that come in them.

3. My sisters are trying to give me ideas for work. So far: Substitute teaching, ghost-writing for grad papers, tutoring English, or selling handpainted furniture like the table I painted for Miss Anna. In return, I'm giving them excuses.

1. My most favorite brand of pens are these really cheapo no-name ones that I can only find at Big Lots and sometimes Dollar Stores. They're $1 for a package of 10, and sometimes some of them don't work, but I love the fine points and way they write.

That is second stupidest song ever. The first is that "Fever for the Flavor" song. I hate that song with a passion.

katie, i love love love world market!! do you still want to go to the galleries maybe?

i am desperatly avoiding studying for a test that i really haven't studied at all for. here goes.

1. I am a slow burn, but when i do get angry, i am scary. all of my friends get scared when i get really pissed off, like they are in trouble even if i'm not angry at them. kind of funny that a girl as small as me can put such fear in hearts. kinda nice almost!!

2. I made some really great postcard two days ago, using tracing paper and collage, i made these bizarro pregnancy postcards, at first for laurasia's postcards of fear lmao, and i liked them so much that i made three more and sent them out randomly to people that have been kind to me and i thought needed a little kindness themselves! i wish that i had more money to do random acts of kindness. i have gotten a few and i would like to do more to pass it on.

3. I picked pregnancy for my fear postcards, which is true. I hope no one is offended by this, but pregnancy really freaks me out. It always has a little parasitic to me. I know that is really horrible to say, but it's true. and what it does to your body really freaks me out. It all just seems like a scene out of aliens. maybe my fear stems from the fact that i'm pretty sure i would make a terrible mother. who knows.

Let's not forget the part when the little larva comes ripping out a hole that really doesn't seem like it should it be able to get that big. Actually, I'm looking forward to pregnancy and babies except that I'm rather small (okay, I'm a twig), and I'm afraid I'll be one of those rediculous looking skinny pregnant women with my belly sticking out three feet. Wouldn't that throw you balance off? What if I fall over all the time?

1. I came home last night to a to find that the 'puter wasn't working. I didn't realize how crazy reliant I am on this piece of junk. Luckily it was only the power supply, cheap and easy to replace.

2. After lugging the beast to and from the 'puter shop (three blocks away). I plugged it in and it didn't work. The fan plug came loose, but since I know squat about computers and am afraid to open them I had to lug it back to the computer place.

3. I am knitting a great scarf out of super soft wool. It is purple and wonderful!

Hee hee! That was actually in Menlo Park, the next town up from where I grew up, about 30 miles south of SF. I saw the photo in the local paper last week, and I've bought gas at that station! Had to appreciate the merchant for at least telling it like it is...and it IS gross!

1. I paid $2.13 a gallon for midgrade yesterday.

2. Some sales guy sent flowers to my boss for "St. Davis Day" last week.

3. I want to be home finishing my Atomic Underpants swap items or making my first rubberstamp, but I am stuck at work as usual.

[GuineaBaby]

1. I shaved my legs just now and I'm wear a skirt to show it off (to my family only). It's a rare occurance I shave since I'm not into beauty-fying myself and I wear jeans all the time.

2. I get highly ticked off when I see the ONE negative feedback I have from brookieh, even though I and everyone else knows I didn't deserve it (as does no one else who got it from her probably).

3. I am watching the most recent Gilmore Girls little by little because it's not downloading fast enough! AARRGGHHH!

1 - i feel like i've been lurking on here for a couple of weeks - well being sick all of last week didn't help but i have been lurking, not contributing anything and that is just not good so hi again.

2 - i have to get through this list in my head of thank yous, lmaos and exchanges that i've been neglecting. i at least got some mail last week that cheered me up a little. so yea, i'm trying to get back into things here.

3 - hmm i don't remember the last time i wore jeans, it was such a long time ago.

[solarpluvia]

Shafina, we love you anyway.

1 - I'm going down to Eugene, Oregon this weekend for a cousin's birthday party. He's a cousin by marriage, and I find his family a bit overwhelming, but I love him and my cousin Neal, his partner.

2 - I spend most of my time upstairs in my house because I keep the temperature at 65 degrees downstairs to save on the gas bill. My bedroom is the warmest room of the house and since my computer is there and I have a bathroom and a tv, all I really need to do downstairs is make food. I'll be sad if we have to move.

[mejaka]

solarpluvia, that was only two things.

1. I'm going bowling tonight with a big group of people and I'm actually kind of excited about it.

2. My dream vacation is an Inside Passage cruise. Well, one of my dream vacations. A bike tour of Greece would be awesome, too...

3. When I'm down I send people mail because I know that their reply letters will perk me up--but by the time I get responses I'm usually not down any more...

[Seusomon]

1. I'm traveling to Washington DC on Sunday.

2. My middle name is Harvey.

3. My favorite cocktail is a Bombay Sapphire gin martini with a feta-stuffed olive.

[nuKKe]

1) I love cocktails! As long as they have "exotique" names and are served in tiki mugs I'll drink them http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

2) Reddirtrose's postcards arrived today! I like Reddirtrose.

3) syntax... pardon me but someone had to kill Chomsky before he funded that stupid generative grammar thing...

[jenngbob]

1. Loving Shafina counts as a fact!

2. Bowling sounds fun! Maybe I will try to do that soon...

3. Funny cocktail to order for someone to embarrass them: a Sweet Piece of Ass. Southern Comfort, OJ, Amaretto, slam and swig. My personal faves are a tie between 2 martinis: Tanqueray 10 dry with 2 olives & a twist of Meyer lemon, or Ketel One dirty with jalapeno olives...drool...

[solarpluvia]

Thanks, Jen! I thought I had put 3 there. Oh well.

1 - Funny cocktail names: Mother Superior (martini with a prune), White Nun (warm milk with Frangelico). But the only one I like is a marguerita.

2 - I have a strange thing for nuns.

3 - My fingernails tear easily but I'm usually too impatient for polish to dry on them so they get all nasty. But I've discovered that if I do them while I'm watching a movie on my computer and so can't do anything else, I can at least get a coat of fast dry on without big smears.

(to make up for my last post)
3 - I'm about to go downstairs and make Challah in my bread machine. I got the recipe from Recipe Source (http://www.recipesource.com). So many recipes....

1. I got tons o' cute stuffers today!

3. My criminal law book is making me nauseous. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

[Katiekat]

1. I hung out with LittleBird last night. I saw lots of neat art that some of which i would like to buy, but since i have neither the money to buy it or a place to put it, i didn't. I had lots of fun and ran into people from my past: 2 past coworkers (one of which was a friend of the family and has known me since i was 2), my highschool art teacher, and my childhood best friend.

2. I have lots that I need to be doing, but i can't decide what to do first, so i'm just sort of sitting here.

3. yesterday, i found out how petty and juvenile a coworker really is. when she got in trouble for her own actions, she immediatly pointed out that "they did this, that, and the other" and got our (very nice and understanding) supervisor in trouble. For a 45 year old woman, she doesn't take responsibility very well. *sorry if that doesn't make sense, but I didn't want to go into it all the way -- story's much too long*

[GuineaBaby]

1. I woke up from a disturbing nightmare I had and couldn't fall back asleep.

2. Because of that, I got less than three hours of sleep.

3. I made pancakes for my parents for breakfast. A huge feat consdering I am a self proclaimed can't-cook!

[solarpluvia]

1 - Just got back from my hard drinking, heavy smoking cousins' house. I had fun, but the smoke is so unpleasant.

2 - I'm going to Hawaii. Probably in May. I love the idea of tropical places even though the most tropic place i've been is Northern Florida.

3 - When I want to disengage my mind (meditate, more or less) I like to listen to the same song repeatedly for usually at least an hour. It is nice not to think.

[jenngbob]

1. Okay, it's 11:03 am and I've had enough of Monday now.

2. I've had enough of this WEEK, actually! Can we have the weekend now, please?

3. I just dropped a goldfish cracker down my shirt! http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[GuineaBaby]

1. I don't want to go to school today. I feel like I've lost a day or something, though I know exactly what I did the last four days.

2. I'm terrified my poli sci teacher will call on me again and this time I won't be prepared.

3. I need to eat breakfast.

[Katiekat]

1. Meant as one woman complimenting another (not as a sexual comment), my supervisor has very nice breasts.

2. I think I'm going to see a band tonight. I don't know which band, or where they're playing. All I know is that my friend Pete will drive me there.

3. I love my friend Lana. I wish she lived here. Right now she's going to K-State, and that means I only see her when she comes home for the odd weekend. *pout*

[Bugitha]

1. My neighbor sometimes asks if she plays her music too loud in a way that lets me know that she thinks I'm the one playing music to loud.

2. I bought a T.V. for my bedroom on Sunday because I really miss lying in bed and watching movies late at night.

3. I have been trying to read _Atlas Shrugged_ for about 8 weeks now. Only 50 pages to go (finally). I have read four other books in the meantime.

[luckythirteenxxx]

1. i get chronic hiccups + stub my pinkie toes at least once a week, both occurring as long as i can remember

2. i met my partner (of 4+ years) while drinking (ok, drunk on...) absinthe

3. i collect bones and deadthings (a little dark to some, a little georgia o'keefe/naturalist to others)

great project with amazing results!!

[mejaka]

1. Grandma Ruth passed away Sunday...it's a gentle sort of joy to know she's back with her "friend-husband," she missed him so (he died in November).

2. I feel happy tonight...Elizabeth Smart is home.

3. I love messages in bottles!

[solarpluvia]

1 - I'm angry, angry, angry. But I don't want to post any sort of rant about it anywhere because I know what can happen to people who figure things out. I'm afraid that I might be right.

2 - I'm also extremely conceited about my intellegence. BUt you knew that.

3 - Pay day is coming soon, so pray on our behalf that the FedEx man doesn't come to our house.

[Swing Set Girl]

1. I need spring like an addict needs a fix.
2. I crave my mom's home cooking.
3. Michigan is cold!

[Willow_starr]

1. I'm craving something sweet... I wonder if I have any fruit cocktail left.

2. I need more junk food in the house.

3. I have had a crappy week, but the worst *knock on wood* will be over tonight by 8pm.

food...

[Dalmaney]

I've been gone so long you can have a double helping:

1. Today was the first springlike day of the year, which makes me happy.

2. I got a 94 on a midterm, and that makes me happy.

3. I have a ton of work to do, and that doesn't make me happy.

4. I lost 65 cents playing penny ante poker with my cousins. It was pretty fun, though.

5. I need to get my Math midterm back. I think I failed, but I need to see it, deal with it, and get over it. I can not do that when my prof skips town and doesn't give them back. Grrr.

6. My roommate got engaged on the weekend. It's not a fact about me, but it proves my self centered-ness. My second thought (right after "good for you") was about how I'll either have to move or find a new roomie next winter.

[Punky]

1. I got some great bracelets from GrindStoneFreak today I *heart* them all

2. I just got out of the shower.

3. I am going to my favorite coffee house tonight with my friend Sic

[MandyR]

1. I've got RED hair!!!!!!! Can you tell I'm excited? I just dyed it today after work.
2. I sing in a Christian Rock praise band.
3. I lost 30 pounds last year due to stress.

Heh heh...just had to share about the red hair.

[beja]

1. i can't recall doing anything but taking a shower, opening a letter, and calling a friend today.

2. how can online businesses and ebay sellers get away with charging so much for shipping? charging $7 to ship a very lightweight item, and then when it gets to me..the post office only charged them three-something, including insurance. where does the rest of the money go..the envelope? and japanese stationary on ebay..3 dollars for shipping for something that would cost me 2 stamps to mail. (while already spending an arm and a leg for the bid price..) rarr.

3. i need to get out of my house. there is a chance i'll be able to go to the city tomorrow for a show (rainer maria), some good vegan chinese food, and shopping in chinatown..so i'm kind of excited about that, but trying not to get too excited because it might now work out. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

[Bugitha]

1. I'd rather take a train than fly.

2. I watch the Oscars religiously. Its the only awards show I watch all year.

3. I never saw a real firefly until I was 28. They just don't live in this area/climate/whatever. But then, neither do fleas, so thats good.

[Katiekat]

Hey Beja, you can always ask the seller (either before the auction ends, or after) if they'd mind sending it via Media Mail (for papers, books, dvd's, music, videos, etc) -- it's way cheaper than regular mail, or priority. I've found that a lot of sellers don't know about the different mail rates, and they can be really cool about sending things how you want.

1. I haven't washed my hair for a few days, and it's really yucky now and bothering me (i have showered, I just skipped my hair cuz i was in a hurry).

2. I'm addicted to saving money, but I also don't mind dropping $75 for a unique purse if I decide i need it. I usually shop at Old Navy, where their sale stuff is $1.99 - $9.99, and I always hit sale racks first. I've done this for so long, I really can't buy regular priced clothes anymore.

3. I think the children's book Manneken Pis (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0689831935/qid=1047664301/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-5034336-8447845?v=glance&s=books) is brilliant and beautiful.

[Seusomon]

1. Amazing coincidence department: I also never saw a real firefly until I was 28. However, I very much enjoyed the "Sam and the Firefly" book when I was a kid.

2. I'm imagining summer has arrived and am wearing shorts and a T-shirt and sipping a frozen rum/coconut thing. It's about 40 degrees outside.

3. Been cruising the photo thread today. I too thought Mejaka had dark hair (I think it's because the screen name has a kind of Asian feel to it), but I imagined her in the right age range.

[solarpluvia]

1 - No FedEx man! My mother still has a job! Our indulgent capitalist oinkie lifestyle can continue!

2 - I am trying to push my sleeping schedual forward around the clock. I went to bed after 8am this morning, and I'm trying for noon tomarrow. Soon I will have normal hours again.

3 - I have two seasons of Red Dwarf to watch. This is a good thing.

[GuineaBaby]

1. I want to see Grease 2 so badly but we don't own it and we don't rent videos...arrrgghh! SO I've been listening to the music over and over again!

2. I have four midterms coming up in the next two weeks. I am panicking about three of them because political science and goverment information doesn't stick in my head well.

3. I saw "Bringing Down the House" and it was better than I thought it would be. I saw it because I think Queen Latifah is such a good actress and she's so beautiful and flaunts her gorgeous curves. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[xxsherunsawayxx]

This was a great idea. I've had a lot of fun reading everyone's random facts.

Here goes:

1. I have an obsession with names that I consider unusual or at least uncommon. I guess that's because my name is Melissa and there were 5 other Melissa's in my classes til I was in 4th grade. Names I like include: Gia, Aurelia, Verena, and Taewyn. I have considered naming my children some of the names I have found.

2. When I was 6 I had an obsession with the color pink. I even wanted to paint my room two shades of pink. Dark pink walls with light trim. I even constantly wore pink. Then when I was 11 I became obsessed with black. Everything had to be black. And that's how it's been for 11 years now.

3. I have never really been a gamer. In fact most gamers I met I wanted to kill. However, my brother is a gamer, same with my cousin, and later same with my boyfriend (now unofficial fiance) who even started working for a game (EverQuest). And despite the fact that I pretty much dislike computer games, I have a major obsession with The Sims.

Hmm, this appears to have a theme lol

--Lissi

[GuineaBaby]

1. I have been very stressed the past week and I'm so exausted from it. I've just been stressed over by something I've been thinking about that I shouldn't worry about, but I can't help it.

2. I saw the movie Chicago and absolutely loved it! I would see it again and again. I never realize how much I love musicals until I watch one.

3. I love Jimmy Fallon. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif I just saw him do a St. Patrick's Day melody like he does and was tickled since I love the other ones he did. I didn't know any of the songs until the last part (i barely recognized an eminem song, how I have no idea).

[solarpluvia]

1 - Speaking of Saturday Night Live, I went to school with one of the new guys, Jeff Richards. I tutored him in math and English for a year. Then I took an acting class with him at junior college. Never thought I'd see him on SNL.

2 - I can't think of anything to do really. I might clean my room. It needs a good cleaning.

3 - My younger cat likes japanese rice crackers. He crawls into my bathroom cabinet looking for them.

[Diane]

1) In the afternoons, I always make sure to sit where the sun hits my face

2) On the phone, everyone thinks I am my mother, and sometimes, I don't say it's me.

3) I want to make CDs that only have one, certain song on them 14 times over, but I never take the time to sit down and do it.

[Seusomon]

1. I have no interest in sports of any kind. None at all.

2. I made myself spinach enchiladas for lunch.

3. I've been yawning all morning.

[GuineaBaby]

1. My nose won't stop itching and I can't stop sneezing. AARARGGH!!!

2. I am in the middle of cleaning my room but it's not dusty. Stupid guinea pigs. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif They're the ones making me sneeze. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

I've done that before!

1 - The winter has been dry here and my eczema is raging at me.

2 - Mom just bought me a really nifty book on rubber stamp carving. I've done some of them before, but it is nice to have inspiration.

3 - The copyright to the song "Happy Birthday" is/was the most violated in history.

[thunderstorm_19]

1. we're seeing the stupidugly beetles around the house again.

2. the greyhound buses are not my fave thing in the world right now. read my LJ for details.

3. i'm alone in the house (H is at M's, T is gone to toronto to see G, B is at S's till tonite)...

[Katiekat]

1. I've always been a little tickled by the fact that the first letters of the months July through November spell out JASON.

2. One of my coworkers analyses handwriting, and she gave me a paragraph to copy on Thursday... then she had Friday off and she doesn't come in today til 12:30 today...I'm impatient, and I wanna know what my handwriting says about me. I hate waiting!

3. Speaking of Jeff Richards & SNL, he never does the Drunk Girl sketches anymore, which bums me out cuz I think he's damn funny in those. I thought for sure there'd be one last Saturday, what with St. Patrick's Day today and all. Maybe next week.

[jenngbob]

1. I am curious why Aerin's cat thinks it is gonna find rice crackers in the bathroom cabinet.

2. I love the name Gabriel.

3. My middle name is Erin, so today is Erin Go Braless, right?

[Bugitha]

1. I love to burn candles but if someone gives me a really pretty one I might wait years before burning it.

2. I've developed too great a fondness for the fresh mozerella and tomato salad they sell at the grocery store deli near by. Its too expensive to eat all the time but that doesn't keep me from craving on a daily basis. I've been digging up recipes to make it on my own.

3. After a very mild January and February, March is proving to be FREEZING around here.

3. My middle name is Erin, so today is Erin Go Braless, right?[/b][/quote]
To answer Jen:

1 - Pumpkin thinks that there might be rice crackers down there because they were there! But after he chewed a hole in the bag I moved it to a drawer.

2 - I like Gabriel, but it reminds me a Galadriel and I have a deep fear of Lord of The Rings names. I'm sure I've mentioned that I was close to being Arwen Evenstar.

3 - The spelling of Aerin may be one of the things that makes my nature quite contary. It is halfway between Erin "Peace" and Aeron "goddess of battle and slaughter." Scary.

[jenngbob]

1. I love "answer" posts...they make it fun to come up with facts that might incite followup!

2. I can't remember who (Aerin?) posted about loving non-English words that express a whole phrase or state of being, but I wanted to answer-post that with 3 words and definitions...the only one I came up with initially was verklempt.

3. I am feeling pissy, about the warmongering mostly.

[littlebird]

1. So i was awakened this morning to a phone call from my dad saying "everything is ok, i just want you to know that everything is ok," and of course that freaked me out. i guess last night my cousins were out at the lake of the ozarks and my four year old cousin fell off the ladder coming down from the loft, at least a 20 foot fall, and he hurt his spleen. he was life-flighted all the way to the kansas city children's mercy hospital, where he is now in the icu. There is a very real chance of internal bleeding and everyone is pretty freaked out. i know i am. His grandfather (not the one that we share) used to be a head doctor/ director at the hospital and he says that he is out of the woods. and at least we know he will get first class treatment because of his grandad. but still, i worry for my little buddy......

2. i am supposed to be working on my design project, which is "using lines in space, make a 3d sculpture that makes a statement about time. size and material are not an issue." sometimes i just love how vague and unstructured art classes are.

3. my bathtub is leaking into my kitchen, even when the water isn't running. it's been doing it for months and it's making a huge stain on my kitchen ceiling, and i'm afraid it's rotting the wood holding it up. my landlord denies that it's happening (I still haven't figured out that one) and i can't get the fat cat building inspector to keep his appt. and actually come and see it. i'm about to turn into a real bitch out of sheer necessity.

[beja]

1. it has been rather warm here, and i have been greatly enjoying it. i am happier and more motivated to do things.  

2. i am so excited about gardening season. i have planted marigolds, echinacea, and green beans so far. (indoors) i hope to eventually plant a few more things..perhaps tomatoes, sunflowers, herbs (parsley, oregano, lavender?) and lettuce? i don't have much space to work with, but i'm making do. (i hope to one day have a farm)

3. i bought pelican stamps today, and the postlady asked if i was going to make pelican-themed envelopes. (must've been because of all those graceful envelopes i made)

[Dalmaney]

Glad to know the Graceful Envelopes make a postal impression. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

1. I am now done my midterms. Three whole weeks before finals. Yay. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

2. It feels like spring lately. That makes me very happy.

3. I have a paperclip chain of the days of school left. (14) After I'm done classes, I think I might make one for days until I go to South Africa. It takes me back to elementary school.

[mejaka]

TOM! I love _Sam and the Firefly!_ My folks moved recently and that's one of the books they gave me... :^ )

Bugitha...I had something to say to you...Oh--I think it was about Happy Birthday. Right? Someone mentioned Happy Birthday to You...My sister played an old chum of one of the principles on _Silk Stalkings_ one episode, and during taping they sang that song. Then they had to go back and retape it with _For She's a Jolly Good Fellow..._ for copyright reasons. Les didn't care--she got another day's SAG minimum pay for about fifteen minutes' work...

1. Tonight the young Japanese man who was one of my dinner guests complimented me on getting the sticky rice exactly right. :^ )

2. The other young dinner guest ate about seven Scottish shortbread cookies.

3. Before this week is out my red canoe will be shedding lake water. I'm GOING to take it out, no matter how much I have to do. I'm *determined.*

1. I'm setting my alarm an hour early tomorrow so that I can work on an overdue lmao contribution before going to work. I've already spent about 10 hours on it but if I don't make more time for it, it will never get it done in time to mail by Saturday.

2. I had overpriced, mediocre, mexican food for dinner tonight.

3. I am still adjusting to working full time again. Its killing me!

[GuineaBaby]

1. I have always said I support Bush, but I am suddenly terrified since I heard the war officially started. I almost threw up.

2. I had two mid terms today: one in poli sci one in math.

3. I love my guinea pigs and dog. They're so innocent.

[Willow_starr]

1. War is stupid and cruel beyond belief, even when it is just. When it is unjust and selfish there are no words.

2. This week sucks.

3. I had banned myself from nervousness until my essays were done. it didn't really work out.

4. good news - My Native Studies TA said that as long as we hand in everything before the exam we're good to go. Which is great news because I'm very far behind.

[mejaka]

Bugitha, I know what I wanted to say!  (I knew there was something...)  My sister who until recently lived in Hollywood, and my parents who also lived nearby, used to go to the coolest Oscar party every year.  The host, Barbara Howell,  was an exec with Easter Seals or something and used it as a fundraiser.  Invitations were kind of exclusive; it was at her own home so she invited her friends.  :^ )  (She still has the party, but alas, my family no longer live near enough to go).  

The party includes pre-mailings of all the Oscar categories and candidates for voting (which must be mailed back before party night) and prizes for correct guesses.  It also includes an Oscar-themed culinary contest in which offerings must somehow reflect the current award-candidate lineup (Mom won once with "Bread Man Walking" and Leslie tied one year with her "Lettuce Forget the Titanic"--a fallen cake frosted in blue, into which she had placed a wedge of Iceberg lettuce and a small toy ship--it tied with a very elaborate and large Titanic model cake...Humor counts, I guess).  Partygoers are encouraged to come in costume that also reflects the current year's lineup--either dressed as a character, or punningly attired somehow.

Thought you might find that interesting.

Okay, three:

1.  I'm becoming more and more certain that Maj. K is stalling Brett's exit from the Guard deliberately.

2.  I love this (http://www.chemsoc.org/viselements/pages/pertable_fla.htm) and really, really want to order one of the prints of the full chart offered in the products section.  I think my 13-year-old son is considering getting it for me for my birthday.

3.  Last night Miss Anna picked all the little crocuses that had finally come up in my front lawn.  I was crushed...I had been putting a lot of energy into appreciating that little bit of beauty amid all the stress and worry.  Sigh.  Ah, well, more are poking up.

[jenngbob]

1. mejaka, that chart is beautiful! Thanks for sharing...

2. You reminded me of Dar Williams song, "February,"

And February was so long that it lasted into March
And found us walking a path alone together.
You stopped and pointed and you said, "That's a crocus,"
And I said, "What's a crocus?" and you said, "It's a flower,"
I tried to remember, but I said, "What's a flower?"
You said, "I still love you."

3. I love Dar Williams!

[Katiekat]

1. The library has been flooded with people, and all of them have asked me at least 3 questions each. Usually being busy makes the day go faster, but today has felt slower than molasses. grr. I need relaxation!

2. I finally started Middlesex, by Jeffrey Eugenides, and it's very good so far. So good that I kept trying to sneak in a page or two between patrons' questions. (I didn't get very far.)

3. I need some cuddletime with the boyfriend.

[mejaka]

1. Brett's other grandmother died last night...that's three grandparents since October.

2. Kids are out of school today.

3. I'm going to meet Brett for lunch.

[solarpluvia]

1 - I've been going to bed at 8pm and getting up at 3.45 am. Seems strange, but it works for me.

2 - I went shopping yesterday because one of my two pairs of pants (don't need more since I'm unemployed) had worn a hole in the bottom. In a masterful stroke of amazing luck, nearly everything in the plus size department at the Bon Marche was on sale so I came away with 6 pairs of jeans, one pair of soft knit pants, and two sweaters for the shocking price of $115.00.

3 - Lycra may be the greatest innovation in the textile industry since the Jaquard Loom.

[GuineaBaby]

1. I have 9 RAOK for nervousness members hanging on my door ready for the mail lady to take them away!

2. My mom bought me construction paper yesterday and I love making cards, so I figured why not. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

3. my bed is a mess: the covers are slipping off, I have cds piled on it and my art supplies are scattered everywhere!

[jenngbob]

1. mejaka's bed sounds like my bed! Mine has the addition of a constant cat, Lady (looks a lot like Binky) who occasionally ralphs up a hairball on it. Oh Yay.

2. I am excited to make dolls this weekend! Yes, and finish my collection LMAOs (Symbolic ATCs, Duck ATCs, Ballads & Torch Songs and Show Me A Song!)...what would it be like to be caught up on nervousness?

3. Once I'm caught up, I've considered not signing up for anything again! Yeah right...!!!

http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[GuineaBaby]

1. I just finished up 5 more RAOK (making 14 total!) and one is still drying! http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

2. I need to do laundry. All the shirts I like wearing are dirty. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

3. I won a Smokin Armadillo record off eBay and I'm thrilled to bits! It only has two songs, one of which is my favorite: Let your heart lead your mind (the other is miracle man). It's never been played, but I'll definitely play it when I get it! I love the sound of records!

[Dalmaney]

1. I am in a somewhat unidentifiable happy mood, considering I found out today that I failed my math midterm and have to pay a $75 parking ticket.

2. It's still a beautiful day. And I still live in a wonderful place.

3. I have had many cats, whose name have included: Fred, Buzz, Eddie (a girl), Mulan, Sid, Baboo, Soccer, Donna, Bear, Panther, Sebastian, Princess, Lucky Louie, Lucky Lucy, Keisha, and I'm sure a few dozen more I don't remember. Oh! And Rocky. She was the reason my first word was "kitty". I wish I had a cat.

[jenngbob]

1. I have a cat named Buzz! And his best buddy's name was Spike, but I often called him Bear...

2. I am almost done for the work week! Yay!

3. Thinking about sticking around a little late and abusing company resources for LMAOs... mooooooooooooooooohahahah!

[Katiekat]

1. I made my brother 2 mixed-media paintings for his birthday. Here's the mess I made while doing it:
http://image1ex.villagephotos.com/1911676.jpg

2. I usually read 2 or 3 books at a time.

3. I've had 4 dogs and 4 cats in my 23 years. Brandy, Judy, Jessie, and Abbey are the dogs, and Chitzy, Paisley, Sidney, and Nikki are the cats. (Brandy, Judy, and Chitzy are in pet heaven.)

[Willow_starr]

1. I bought lots of fabric today for a couple presents for friends/sister and stuff to sell at the flea market during the summer

2. I have never ridden a horse.

3. I can play the digeridoo.

1. I told peeps on my lj if they want a card I made to email me their addy but so far only *one* person responded. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

2. Ed wasn't on like it was supposed to be. It's just being covered by CNN giving repeat information.

3. I am absolutely exhausted and I have only been up since 10:30...I am an hour and a half away of being up for twelve hours!

[venus28976]

1. I turned 23 on Wed.
2. I just made ten ATCs, postcards and tags to randomly send out
3. I'm sad about everything that is going on http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

[solarpluvia]

1 - I have started limiting myself to one hour of news per day, otherwise I get so angry I can't enjoy anything alse.

2 - After getting lots of pants, I've got to go get some shirts.

3 - I very much want to go to IHOP and have a staggeringly unhealthy breakfast.

[mejaka]

1. I'm up 15 pounds in the last little while and feel doomed to gain back all the weight I lost almost two years ago. I just don't have any more energy to focus on it.

2. I haven't watched one hour of news total in the last ten weeks.

3. Dogs I remember: Salty (a Christmas gift to my sister--my brother and I got up at 2 am Christmas morning and found him), Muffy (I saw her hit by a car when I was six), Fifi (came with the name--I remember Mom holding her on her lap entirely wrapped in a towel, on the way to the vet to put her down, distemper or poisoning), two Godys (my sister couldn't say Doggie), Scamp (smart dog, taught him to jump through a hula hoop on command and was teaching him to jump rope), Mandy (we had an injured bird, and on the day we took it outside to practice flying, it flew ten yards and landed under a fir tree where a cat was waiting--Mandy saw our distress and retrieved the bird, chirping desperately but unhurt...She also used to sit in front of the hi-fi and cock her head to Manilow's "Mandy"), Chino (mean creature, claimed my sister as his person and bit anyone who came near her--tore the heck out of my brother's nose--I think we had him two weeks), Ginger and Pepper (Pep had a slew of puppies and Ginger was so distraught she crawled under the bed that same day and delivered her one), Yogi Bear (got him as an orphan at two weeks, bottle-fed him every three hours), Lance (smart but sneaky), Banjeau, Paisley...and the current resident, a fat spoiled beagle named Reggie.

[GuineaBaby]

1. I guess it's my turn with the dogs. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
Cupie-She was a mutt. My dad gave her to my Mom for Valentine's day. She was put down when she was 11 because she had tumors in her brain and lungs. To this day, I still cry over her. She was my favorite. Mom was afraid when we were born she wouldn't like us, but she would guard us and wouldn't let anyone come near us and she let us pull on her tail and stuff. She was such a good dog.

Petal-Half chihuahua half toy terrier. The runt of the litter. She only lived a few months. She caught parvo at the vet when she went in for her shot. She was my dog.

Thistle-Half Chihuahua half toy terrier. Petal's older sister. She caught parvo as well, but survived. She was Dawn's dog. Now she wants Mom and mom only lol. She is 8 now.

Dudet-My grandmother's dog. She was like a poodle mix and something else. Had lots of naked spots. I went with my Uncle (and not the one who cared for her either!) to put her down. Mom and I went to go feed her while my grandmother was first put in the home or hospital (I don't remember which) and found her back legs collapsed and she couldn't walk. We think my (other) uncle just left her there.

2. Thistle loves me right now because I have food.

3. I want a rabbit.

[Dalmaney]

1. I have had far fewer dogs than cats. In sequence, there was Rover (seriously.) who died when I was about three. Then dad dragged home a mutt from the side of the road, Teddy. Dumb as a post, but he was our friend for a solid 15 years. After he died, we got Jake, a border-collie hound cross. He's almost 4 now, and about a hundred pounds. A good farm dog, but not too bright either. He always goes for the head of the cows. Mostly he's a giant throw rug in our living room.

2. I am going to a formal tonight. My dress cost eleven dollars, new. It is sparkly, red, and short. People aren't going to know me to see me.

3. I haven't been dressed this formally since my grad in 1999. I'm recycling my shoes, purse, etc. Somehow a purely manufactured excuse to get decked out is still pretty satisfactory.

[Katiekat]

1. I wanna go home (i'm @ work right now), take a shower, and smoke a joint. I haven't smoked in quite awhile, but now all of a sudden, I want to. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

2. The last hour and 15 minutes went by really fast because my man came by to bring me lunch and visit. That was nice. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

3. My dad, brother, and I all have the same double-jointed thumbs. The only difference is that my dad can only do his right thumb, I can only do my left, and my brother used to be able to do both (but not since he broke his left thumb playing highschool football).

4. I think I may have already used my double-jointed thumb as a fact in this thread somewhere, so I'll add one more:

5. I'm really trying to get something published in Maxim magazine. There's a section they do called "Found Porn" where people send in things that were meant innocently, but in reality are innuendos or look like penises. So far, I've sent in a picture of a tobacco shop called "Back Door Discount" and a horribly drawn illustration from a children's book.

*skips away with her sweet puppy-dog card from GuineaBaby*

[Willow_starr]

1. I'm so proud of me, I actually started on my long-overdue essay for Native Studies today.

2. I changed half my major this week, and my possible "real job" plans too. I had an epiphany of sorts (that and I don't want to take Anthropology 200 again)

3. I've only ever had two dogs and am not planning for more, but I've loads of other pets, mostly cats througout my life. My whole family are suckers for injured, lost, and stray animals. The idea of buying a pet is ridiculous, they land in our laps more than is good. I think my favorite story was one stormy night my sister was heading out and almost stepped on a fallen baby mourning dove. We named it Pax, kept it in a an old rabbit cage until it was grown and laughed when it tried to imitate our cockatail who wolf whistled.

[AlienSpy]

1) My boyfriend always falls asleep in the middle of movies. Tonight was no exception. That's annoying! At least he doesn't snore or anything...

2) Since everyone is talking about dogs... I think I must have taken over 100 pictures of my dogs with my digital camera over the last 2 days!

3) I've been tired of studying for the last couple of weeks... I can't wait to have my degree and finally have a job that I'll love for more than a few months!

1. I took a two hour nap from 7:30-9:30 that I shouldn't have

2. I went thrift store shopping today. Didn't get a lot of stuff, but got a few shirts.

3. Between Dawn, my mom, and myself we spent $80. :O

[Katiekat]

1. Three words: Hot. Hotter. Really-fuckin-HOT!! My workplace has the heater cranked -- yes, even though it's 70 degrees outside. This place is roasting! blech! http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

2. All i can think of is lots of cold drinks, filled to the brim with ice.

3. I can't wait to get outside to a breath of fresh (and in comparison), cool air.

[FearfulPenguin]

Ok, I'll give this a go!

1. This is my first entry in this thread!

2. I introduced my pet hamster Fudge to my mum's cat Poppy, and Poppy was scared of Fudge! How cute is that!

3. I have been fed up of studying for the past month - and have another year to go before I graduate! So I know how you feel AlienSpy!

[Bugitha]

1. Since I spent a few hours visiting the family pets at my brother's place today, I can't resist adding my list of doggies.

Sugar--huskie/dalmation mix. Loved to sleep in the strawberry patch in my father's garden. At first this frustrated him seeing as how Sugar squashed the plants. But after Sugar's good long life came to an end, my father dug up his beloved strawberry patch and buried her there.

Mickey--border collie mix and the smartest, friendliest dog we ever had. Also the most athletic. Frequently jumped the six foot fence. One day he got out, never came back, and never showed up at the pound. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Jerry Bear--a red chow. Loveable, but (we thought) incredibly slow-witted. Ran away one Christmas Eve . Eight months later we get a call from the pound: They got him! He had been living in the hills a couple of miles away all that time. Animal Control had tried to catch him several times but he was too fast! Jerry Bear's not as dumb as he looks, it seems. I love him for the sheer fuzziness of his coat and his personality.

Natasha--a lab/rotweiler mix. Constantly wants attention, but has a soft spot in her heart for cats and kittens. Is very protective of the household cats and plays gently with kittens.

2. The war has me all tied up in knots.

3. I went to a barbershop quartet convention yesterday. Have come to the conclusion that I enjoy barbershop music, but only in moderation. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Death_Or_Aldona]

1. I've never had a doggy. I am seriously thinking about getting one soon...can't decide what kind to get. I've always wanted an old english sheepdog, but man they're big!

2. I've limited my news intake to just the radio while I'm in the car. I try not to spend too much time in the car...the news makes me a mean driver.

3. I'm moving soon! I'm going to live in a trailer in a trailer park far away from those I love. I'm sad and excited. A little weirded out by the trailer park...It's a bit shady. I'm sure there will be lots of interesting folks to inspire me.

[littlebird]

Speaking of pets, I'm completely in love with this movie (http://atomfilms.shockwave.com/af/content/atom_419). it's like "best of show" but real. It's very funny and sad all at the same time. Tell me what you think.

1. I can name all of the parts of a classically styled building, right down to the acanthus leaves atop the ionic columns. Sadly, I'm sure I will forget all of it in a month.

2. I am going to an ettiquette dinner tomorrow night where we pay twelve dollars to dress up, eat overcooked chicken, and learn which fork is which. I'm terribly excited.

3. I think I have lost a friend because of our differing opinions on the war. I'm strongly anti-war and her motto is basically "nuke 'em till they glow." This is very distressing to me because other than that, she's a wonderful person. I've been told several times just to shut my mouth about my opinions, but I just can't swallow what I'm feeling, even if it does hurt our friendship. I just can't.

I've lucked out so far because my family has all been for the war, so we don't fight about it (my Mom's father was in the army and so were a couple uncles). It would be stupid to lose a friend over the war. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif Maybe you guys could agree to disagree or not talk about it? I have trouble keeping my mouth shut when it comes to certain things, too.

1. I picked up a second hand shirt the other day that says "Not only am I perfect, I'm Irish too!" and I am wearing it today. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif Too bad I didn't have it last Monday, eh?

2. I'm sooooooo nervous! I should be getting back two mid terms today and I have to take one, too.

3. I think I'm going to do miserably on my intro to admin of justice mid term because I have no idea what it's on...we're supposed to read up to chapter 10 in the book, but I think the test is only on the first five and we never even reviewed the chapters! All we do is have speakers and go on field trips. It totally sucks!

But you're lucky in a way FearfulPenguin because I still have 2 more years left! What are you studying? I've been a student for the last 18 years and it's driving me crazy these days!

1) I need to start looking for a summer job.

2) I started an "all you need to know about me" journal and I wrote 101 facts about me. 5 of my friends from university joined the fun and I can't wait to read what they wrote!

3) If you all keep talking about animals here I'll have to get another one soon! Two dogs and one cat are enough, but I can't help falling in love with all those adorable creatures http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

1. I went to those etiquette dinners for free the whole time I was growing up, usually once a year. Part of the subculture...My son went to his first a few weeks ago. :^ )

2. I'm tired of the fanatics on all sides. I'm tired of the demonizing, regardless of the subject of the demonizing. I'm tired of the war rhetoric and of the anti-war rhetoric.

3. I'm headed to another funeral. Better go finish packing.

[GuineaBaby]

1. I got my math test back today. I got a 100%! ^_^

2. I'm so full! My stomach hurts. http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif Mom surprised me when I came home by having chinese food.

3. my admin of justice test was postponed until next week! yay!

I've just found this enormous thread so here I go
1) I'm the best lucid dreamer I've ever met. On a good week I can have 14 or more lucid dreams.
2) I love cheap whiskey, don't ask me why.
3) My favorite books are Fast Food Nation (I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in what they're eating and almost every aspect of fast food) Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, The Yellow Wallpaper, The Tao Te Ching, and If You Give A Mouse A Cookie.

1. Some of my favorite childhood books that I still like to sit and read: Matthew and the Midnight Turkeys, Matthew and the Midnight Money Van, The Paper Bag Princess, 40 Below Zero, Horton Hears a Who, All the Kats in Katzenstien (that mignt not be the name. It's a valuable Dr. Suess story of holding up your own tail.), and for that matter, any other classic Seus or Munch.

2. I just finished rereading "Who Is Bugs Potter" by Gordon Korman. It's written at a fifth grade level, but it's still pretty funny. It's all about a drummer from a high school band festival that sneaks out at night, plays with his favorite rock bands, and becomes a cult sensation. I loved those books; I want to track down some more to read. They've kinda gone out of style, being as they're about 20 years old and Canadian.

3. To round out the reading facts, I am currently reading "Dead Zone" by Steven King. It's a bookcrossing book. I rarely read Steven King, but this is pretty good so far. Kinda X-files. I used to like X-Files quite a bit.

1. I absolutely love my long hair, but I hate all the time it takes to wash and dry it.

2. I am a snugglebunny.

3. I have an awful habit of picking at my cuticles. Right now, my thumb looks terrible.

[mpurr]

*LOL* katiekat, I do that too! ( the cuticles thing that is)

I'm studying maths.. on my third year of a four year course (I finish with a masters). What about you, AlienSpy?

1. I've spent all day trying to catch up on nervousness projects and still have loads to do!

2. I am obsessed with being online. I check nervousness far more often than is healthy, and LJ too.

3. I only have 2 more weeks left of my job!! http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

1. I've never owned a dog smaller than an English Pointer in my life, and now, all of a sudden, I want a chihuahua.

1-and-a-half. A lady at my work prefers to say it "chi-hooa-hooa."

2. I think Roald Dahl is a genius. His books are fantabulous.

3. I think sloths are very cool animals.

I like The Yellow Wallpaper, too! I had to read it my jr year of hs and then I read it again in English 1B. I found it fascinating, though I'm not exactly sure why.

Katiekat--when I talk about chihuahuas and I joke around, I call them chi-ha-has. ^_^ They're nervous little bugger's too, and my dog is only half! http://nervousness.org/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

1. I just finished watching The Ring. I'm nervous from it, but hopefully all this sunshine will drive it out of my head!

2. I don't want to go to math today. I want to stay home and do whatever.

3. I couldn't sleep last night because my allergies were majorly bugging me. My wonderful sister gave my tylenol PM and it worked wonders! ^_^

[Seusomon]

1. My daughter and I celebrated Ostara (spring equinox) by coloring eggs using natural dyes made from fruits and vegetables - the results were wonderful!

2. I can't stop eating Altoids.

3. I want to buy a new poster for my office. Can't find one I like.
